Every time I try to use POST to submit variables or files to a form it seems to add the mimetype to the variable. (GET seems to work fine, but then I can't upload files)

If I upload a Jpeg file, it adds "Content-Type: image/jpeg" to the variable. or if I submit a "TEXT AREA" to the script it adds "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" to the variable.

I also noticed that a normal TEXT variable gets some extra whitespace added to it in the script, so I had to use trim() to remove that.

I found a workaround for the file-upload bug somewhere :

function fix_php_upload_bug($tmp) {
        $infile=fopen($tmp,"r"); // Open the file for the copy
        $outfile=fopen("$tmp.new","w"); // create a new temp file
        $header=fgets($infile,255); //get the 1st line (netscape sometimes doesn't add a Content-type line)
        //if its more than just a rn sequence then
        if (strlen($header)>2) $header=fgets($infile,255); //get next line also
        while(!feof($infile)) { // Loop through the remaining file
        $temp=fread($infile,128);
        fwrite($outfile,$temp,strlen($temp)); //copying contents to new temp file
        }
        fclose($outfile);
        fclose($infile);
        copy("$tmp.new","$tmp"); //replace the original with our new bug fixed file
        unlink("$tmp.new"); //and delete the new file
        return filesize($tmp); //return a true file size
        }
